How to Upload Files to Alibaba Cloud Object Storage with Node.js

In this article, you will get some information on how to use Node.js to upload content to Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service from a web application.

Requirements

For you to follow through with this tutorial you will require the following:

  1. Subscribe to the Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service to get secret access keys.
  2. Run Node.js and npm on your machine. Node.js Downloads contains further information on how to go about Node installation.

In summary, you will require an Alibaba Cloud account, Object Storage Service, Node.js, npm and access keys to your OSS service.

How to Add Access Keys to the Credentials File

To begin with, the Alibaba Cloud OSS supports RESTful API operations and SDKs for most languages. In this tutorial, we are going to use the open-source OSS JavaScript SDK for node.js. We need to first install the ali-oss like so:

npm install ali-oss

Noteworthy, there are two modes that you can choose from; synchronous and asynchronous modes.

To use in synchronous mode, you may additionally use it in conjunction with co. Install co like so:

npm install co

The asynchronous mode supports callback.

Then you can go to How to Use Node.js to Upload Files to Alibaba Cloud Object Storage to check how to initialize the Client, install dependencies, create the front-end App, set up server with express and then upload the files.

Getting Started with Node.JS on Alibaba Cloud

By Alex Mungai Muchiri, Alibaba Cloud Tech Share Author. Tech Share is Alibaba Cloud's incentive program to encourage the sharing of technical knowledge and best practices within the cloud community.

The Node.JS JavaScript framework was developed by Ryan Dahl in 2009 and is suitable for rapid development of highly scalable network applications. It is a server-side platform that is based on the V8 Engine (Chrome JE). It is particularly useful when building data-intensive real-time web applications because of its event-driven non-blocking I/O model. Its performance on distributed devices is impeccable for its lightweight and efficient architecture. Notably, Node.js is an open source, a cross-platform environment that runs across OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Linux. Developers use it for server-side and network application development.

Routing with Node.JS on Alibaba Cloud

In this tutorial, we will be examining the methods of routing using Node.js. Hopefully, you have already grasped the fundamental principles of Node.JS. We will be examining the essentials of Node.js routing using Express. Specifically, we will explore two methods and examples for the case study.

For most programming languages, routing is an essential component of programming techniques. Older routing applications were tedious and most cases prone to errors. However, modern programming languages use advanced methods that have made programming much easier to implement.
